Does anyone know if there is a way to configure Netmeeting
PC stilling behind a SOHO NAT Router Firewall to register
with a Gatekeeper using the correct (i.e. of the NAT
Router Firewall), so that the response can be forwarded to
the PC correectly by the router?

Right now its registering with the non-routable local IP
192.168.1.100, and of course, that's not gonna work.

Any help much appreciated.

Not that I know of -- there are 3rd party tools that allow you to dummy up
the login to an ILS but I have not heard of any that will do the same for a
gatekeeper ( I am not sure it would work anyway).

There are really two problems here --
1) registering with the gatekeeper
2) forwarding incoming calls to the PC from the router -- that normally is
done by designating the PC as the dmz client

No -- I don't think there is a solution either ( other than running a
gatekeeper/gateway on a client behind the router that can cooperate with
remote gatekeeper).
